We all have a money story — but are you aware of the beliefs that are shaping yours?

In this deeply personal solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I'm diving into a topic that touches every entrepreneur, especially us mama CEOs: money mindset.

I'm sharing how my own money beliefs were shaped growing up with two parents who saw money very differently — and how I've had to unlearn so many stories in order to grow a thriving, joyful business.

From common limiting beliefs to the hidden ways our upbringing shapes our financial reality, this episode is packed with reflective prompts and practical strategies to help you shift into abundance.

Whether you're making six figures or just starting out, there's always room to grow — and it starts with the way you think about money.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The top four sources that shape our money beliefs (spoiler: it's not just your parents!)
• How to identify and reframe limiting thoughts around wealth and success
• Practical exercises and affirmations to improve your money mindset, starting today

Do you set ambitious New Year's goals only to feel overwhelmed and abandon them by spring? The problem isn't your commitment—it's that annual goals are too big and abstract to maintain momentum.

I break down why quarterly goal-setting is the game-changer your business has been waiting for. When we shift from 365-day marathons to focused 90-day sprints, everything changes.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• Why our brains are wired for shorter goal cycles
• The four types of seasonal goals that create balance: revenue, non-revenue business, personal, and family
• How to choose one most important goal per category
• The "finish line mindset" that helps you push through when motivation wanes
• Why celebrating small progress catalyzes bigger achievements
• How to set up consistent revenue during "lighter" seasons
